Microbladed, Hair-stroke, Feathered,3-D, Nano,

There are many ways to describe the same thing.  Some words for eyebrow tattoos are a description of the end result, such as Feathered, Hairstroke, etc.  Other names describe the tool used to make the eyebrow tattoo, like Microbladed and Nanobladed.

​

A hand tool made up of multiple needles is called a microblade or nanoblade based on the diameter of the needles. When using a  'blade' to make hair-like strokes filled with pigment to simulate eyebrow hair you may hear it called Microblading, Micro-stroking, 3-D Brows, Hairstroke Eyebrows and Feathered Brows, and more.  All of these words describe an eyebrow tattoo created by using a 'blade' or rotary tattoo machine.   The results resemble natural hair  Pros: creates eyebrows when there are none or enhances existing eyebrows; looks realistic, natural, and subtle. 

​

Powdered, Full-color, and Shaded are words describing eyebrow tattoos created using a rotary tattoo machine resembling the application of conventional eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder makeup. Pros: creates eyebrows when there are none or enhances existing eyebrows; more coverage, can cover faded eyebrow tattoos and neutralize or correct unwanted tones.

​

Ombre and Combo are words to describe eyebrows that are lighter at the origin (by your nose) and darker as they extend toward your ear. The technician may use a 'blade' or rotary tattoo machine to create this effect.

 

Permanent cosmetics are not necessarily intended to replace makeup completely. When you want to kick up your heels and go out for a night on the town, or want to darker or widen, you may apply brow powder or pencil over healed eyebrow tattoos.

​

Permanent tattoo eyebrows can provide a great alternative to those who suffer from hair loss, alopecia, over-tweezing, thinning or non-existent eyebrows.  It is great to wake up looking your best.
